Reflection: How Does Your Dog Show Affection?
Dogs don’t always show affection in the ways we expect.
While cuddles and kisses get a lot of attention, many dogs express connection in much quieter, more subtle ways.
Affection might look like:
- Choosing to rest near you
- Checking in with eye contact
- Matching your pace on a walk
- Following you from room to room
- Bringing you a toy — not to play, but to share
- Relaxing more easily when you’re nearby
These small moments often get overlooked, but they’re meaningful.
Not every dog is a lap dog, and affection doesn’t have to be loud to be real.
💬 Reflection question:
What subtle ways does your dog show affection or connection with you?
Noticing these moments deepens our bond — and helps us appreciate dogs for who they are 💚
